The terrifying prospect of a non-negative GD surely dooms us in the next game. |

That's the expectation bias at work. We feel as though we should beat teams near the bottom so when we do, it's not remarkable or memorable. But we remember the losses because our expectation has failed, causing a sense of grievance. The reverse is true of beating teams at the top.
If anyone wants to prove me wrong, feel free to have a go, but the few times I've looked at the stats it's very clear that our results are biased towards more points from lower clubs and fewer points from higher clubs. It couldn't not be over any reasonable sample size. |

I have to ask, is that AI slop at all useful in the context of all the other, sometimes quite informed, discussion here? |

11 or 12 years of mediocrity?
I wish. It's 30 years we've been mediocre to poor, with the exception of the two Championship promotion seasons and even for one of those we went up by the skin of our teeth with a despised manager, duly followed by a horrific relegation season. |

Anybody who ever thought we got more than a million for either Armstrong or Dykes must be doing a lot of spice. |

It's not true, never has been.
I will quote myself from this very thread:
"It's an enduring fallacy, driven by expectation bias, that we do better against better teams.
This season we've won 6 points from seven games against the top six and 16 points from ten games against the bottom six. Similar story every season. " |

And if they do wake up, what do you propose they do about it?
Ans since you are presumably already woke, what are you doing about it? |

Well, we do have a tendency to get a bit Life of Brian around here when an off the cuff remark morphs into an endlessly incanted article of faith. |
